These are the putting statistics from the PGA Tour last year, and they make interesting reading. Although it seems from watching the TV coverage that the Pro’s make just about everything, the images you see are misleading.
The stats show that even the best players in the world only make 22% from 15 feet from the hole and only 38% from 10 feet from the hole.
So, that should tell us that we need to spend more time teaching the short game, to get it closer to hole in the first place, and putting to convert the chances we give ourselves.
I know I sound like a stuck record sometimes, but these areas really are that important. So if you haven’t got the knowledge in these areas, or want to refresh the skills you already have, then look to upgrade your teaching skills as soon as you can. The stats don’t lie!!
